Research

My program involves development of disease management strategies and IPM programs
for crops grown in Montana with emphasis on potatoes and sugar beets. Approaches being
used include biological control with phyllosphere and rhizosphere inhabiting organisms,
host plant resistance, cultural practices, and chemical control. The ecology ad epidemiology
of plant pathogens and biocontrol organisms is of particular interest as is grain
storage pathology and mycotoxicology. I have both Extension and Research responsibilities.
